“Expert and well-reasoned commentary on the justice system . . . His writings are dangerous.”—The Village Voice In Jailhouse Lawyers, award-winning journalist and death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal presents the stories and reflections of fellow prisoners-turned-advocates who have learned to use the court system to represent other prisoners—many uneducated or illiterate—and, in some cases, to win their freedom. In Abu-Jamal’s words, “This is the story of law learned, not in the ivory towers of multi-billion-dollar endowed universities [but] in the bowels of the slave-ship, in the dank dungeons of America.” Includes an introduction by Angela Y. Davis. Mumia Abu-Jamal’s books include Live From Death Row and Death Blossoms.

Lawyers regularly take the lead in polls as the most unpopular of all professions, ahead, even, of bankers and journalists. But the lawyers featured in this book are different. The stories they tell and the cases they fought are admirable and often inspiring. They devoted their careers to representing victims of injustice rather than the rich and the privileged. Their clients included Martin Luther King and Angela Davis, the prisoners in the infamous massacre at Attica, people who suffered torture, police abuse, mass arrests, and segregation. They held the system to its promises of freedom of speech and assembly, the right to privacy, and equal justice for all, often exposing the ultimate incompatibility of democracy with capitalism. Combining profiles with engaging interviews, Lawyers for the Left will be of interest to progressives inside the legal profession, as well as a wider left increasingly aware that legal challenges are important in putting the brakes on an administration veering sharply to the right. It will also disabuse those who believe that God only invented lawyers so that politicians would have someone to look down upon.

The remarkable rise and shameful fall of one of the twentieth century’s greatest conglomerates At its peak in the 1930s, the German chemical conglomerate IG Farben was one of the most powerful corporations in the world. To this day, companies formerly part of the Farben cartel—the aspirin-maker Bayer, the graphics supplier Agfa, the plastics giant BASF—continue to play key roles in the global market. IG Farben itself, however, is remembered mostly for its infamous connections to the Nazi Party and its complicity in the atrocities of the Holocaust. After the war, Farben’s leaders were tried for crimes that included mass murder and exploitation of slave labor. In Hell’s Cartel, Diarmuid Jeffreys presents the first comprehensive account of IG Farben’s rise and fall, tracing the enterprise from its nineteenth-century origins, when the discovery of synthetic dyes gave rise to a vibrant new industry, through the upheavals of the Great War era, and on to the company’s fateful role in World War II. Drawing on extensive research and original interviews, Hell’s Cartel sheds new light on the codependence of industry and the Third Reich, and offers a timely warning against the dangerous merger of politics and the pursuit of profit.

Martin Dawson, a young aggressive attorney practicing law in the large, metropolitan City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, desired to change his life and practice law in a smaller, faster growing community in a warmer climate to attempt to create a better life for himself and his family. Martin had a small base of Minnesota clients who were developing real estate in Southwest Florida, in and around the City of Fort Myers. Martin and his wife decided that practicing law in Florida may enhance the quality of their family's life as well as Martin's professional life. LIES, LARCENY & LAWYERS, takes the reader through Martin's journey of practicing law in four different law firms. It tells the story of Martin's frustrations with, not the clients he represented, but with the lawyers he became associated with through that journey. The difficulty of practicing his profession with lawyers who lie, cheat, steal and even murder to get ahead was a difficult course for Martin to navigate. Martin's quandary was whether he could find that perfect legal environment where the attitudes and comradery of the lawyers he worked with would allow him to find himself the professional fulfillment for practicing his profession that he was so desperately seeking. That journey was difficult, while interacting with unique individuals who made that journey nearly impossible.
